 And the concept of being rich or poor is very subjective, I think. A king on the middle ages had less luxury and comfort than a average middle class American nowadays

 This is a good point.

When maxis say "rich" or "poor" they don't mean "abundance" or " able to enjoy some luxury "

they mean a higher or lower socioeconomic position *relative to themselves.*
So HFSP doesn't just mean "I'm sorry you won't reap the benefits of higher buying power"
it means "i will occupy a superior economic caste than you because you are an impure shitcoiner"

That's why it's an arrogant obnoxious thing to say. Reeks of smugness and the self-gratified pride of someone who needs their ass kicked.
